This is just stunning and I think it is much better than 3rd place but I'm sure you were just happy to be accepted in.

Your quilting is beautiful and I love the swirl you added to the goose block background. As sweet flair but it really makes the geese look like just one line and not triangles.

Are the feather swirls your quilting? Stunning! I'm thrilled for you! Congratulations on being featured on TQS as well.

Oh my gosh! I would love to get a tutorial on how to press flying geese! I have a hard time putting lines of geese together in my quilts when they are in a line like this. This quilt is just stunning! What is the secret? LOVE this!

Hi Robin,

Here is a pretty good tutorial from a gal in UK that has several tips for pressing flying geese blocks (especially toward the bottom about rows of geese.)

Maralee Ashby -- I can't see the link you shared with Robin. Will you share again, please and thank you.

And WOW. Just awed by Celtic Migration's design, and the mastery of the patchwork. It should be in a museum.
